If your lambdas are like 10ms total time and have a very low memory footprint, sure, I used settings that I felt were adequate for an average web service. But anyway, that kind of ok proves my point even more, because now you need a much higher rps to benefit from the discounted tiers. >if handling 500 requests/minute really cost you $300/month, don't you think it would be far better to just provision a EC2 instance? Yes, hence why I stated that very few customers IRL would benefit from this. If you're already doing $100,000k/mo on Lambda fees, for sure you can switch to better and much cheaper infra.
